  • It can absolutely be overwhelming, and very easy to forget specifics over a long time. It’s partly why I don’t really go for CLI apps, and ~all of my apps are just Ansible manifests. Which apps are causing the biggest problems for your family?

    What exactly is breaking each of these times? Guides that cover 95% sound pretty solid to me. It’s hard to write a guide covering 100% of scenarios. Admittedly I also worked in the field, but the field is extremely wide so maybe there’s some knowledge areas to deepen that are commonly giving you problems and/or move towards a less brittle setup.

    Re-evaluating what’s important is important. If it’s not fun then you should reflect on having the right balance of what is helping you and your family vs causing excessive stress. IMO the “avoid all tech companies” is slightly overblown (blasphemous, I know). It’s a good guiding principle but it’s fine to “buy services” that make your life better. For example, I self host a lot, but I was totally fine buying a finances tracking app (the spreadsheet-based one) because it’s doing a lot of heavy lifting that I can’t reasonably do myself at the level of convenience I want.

    He’s been a senator for 27 years and Democrat leader for 8-9 years. His power isn’t his vote. It’s building party strategy and convincing the people that Democrats are essential to governing. He hasn’t done bubkis. The party has been weakest under his leadership. He needs to be primaried and GTFO. New York has better.









  • Never republican. Prior to that, whichever Democrat says they will reign hell fire.

    Disbanding ICE, disbanding TSA, slashing CBP, cutting military 75+%, expanding the supreme court by 10+ seats, expanding DOJ for that massive backlog of criminal prosecutions, forcing better vote methodologies, forcing a constitutional convention (new branches of government, independent DOJ, independent science research, independent health), encouraging new states (DC, Guam, Puerto Rico) to join the union to fix Senate proportions, remove electoral college, add in mechanisms for national no-confidence votes, healthcare as a right, etc. There’s a lot more heh.

    It’s even worse than the picture implies. Alex walked away from that confrontation, and then later ICE assaulted a woman in front of Alex. Alex was helping her while she was falling over. ICE didnt like him helping her so he decided to pepper spray both of them. ICE thugs jumped Alex during this and then executed him. There was zero confrontation, just murder.

    I think of the quote by Mr. Rogers during moments of tragedy: find the helpers. ICE executed the helper. There is zero ambiguity what happened here.
